16 miles and change, 26,000 steps end with the ten to the absinthe bottle and back to bed, dizzy with heartbreak. I spent years trying to change, but I am more myself than ever before. The truth slips over my neck. My eye is dark. Absinthe vanishes from the glass smooth as vapor. She invited my deepest hurts so I gave them in cries that sunk into her shoulder blade, more than I've given to anyone. Time is a broken floe, drifting and cold. I am more myself than ever before. I wish I wasn't, Oh god I wish I wasn't.

She invited my deepest hurts so I gave them in cries that sunk into her shoulder blade, more than I've given to anyone. Time is a broken floe, drifting and cold. I am more myself than ever before. I wish I wasn't, Oh god I wish I wasn't.
